Xaris posted:costco is good but Costco is totally worth it for 1 person if you make frequent use of their takeout options and if you have pets that need lots of produce/etc. I live in a rental with a roommate and can’t set up/afford a RO water filter for a 10gal reef, but costco sells bulk RO water cheap which is plenty for a small 10gal. When I had 3 rabbits with an ex we made frequent use of Costco for veggies and cleaning supplies and poo poo. Also if you’re trying to shift to a majority plant-based diet, the Costco savings on produce and legumes/grains add up super quickly. I think Trader Joe’s probably does an equally good job of hitting packaged/frozen foods in terms of cost with more variety and smaller portions, but they can’t touch Costco when you need a poo poo ton of kale, peppers, lentils, eggs, and rice. And like others have said, if you buy a handful of clothing or electronics or appliance or more “premium”/“luxury” (ie not staple, or not something you’d buy all the time/you’re buying it for fun or to celebrate or whatever) food items there per year the savings quickly pay for the membership outright. Personally I make up for it once over in hot dogs, salads, froyo, and pizzas; once over just in Annie’s mac & cheese and lactose-free milk; and probably once over in shrimp and shrimp-based foods. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 08:16 on May 10, 2020 |

Xaris posted:TCL is a real good cheap as poo poo TV with good image quality for the price, generally the go-to. Ive had some iffy software issues with the Roku OS though but it's an older model. Yeah, just don’t use the built in apps and don’t connect the TV itself to your network and you’re golden. You should be using an external source anyway tho.

Suspect Bucket posted:I had trouble getting a non smart TV. Mine is hooked to my computer, and it's the living room video game / streaming solution. Yeah, you won’t be able to since the current crop of budget models is so cheap largely because they subsidize the cost with data sales. Nobody specifically looks for a “dumb” TV anymore unless they have a desire/need for one (and now a lot of those are being sold as monitors/to enterprise rather than consumer TVs) and your average buyer is going to see the smart features as a selling point rather than a redundancy or potential liability. The cost of adding the parts is trivial.

Soundbars...not even once. Unless it’s for like a bedroom or really small space and even then powered speakers or something like an audioengine B2 is way preferable. Hell even a 2.0 stereo with amp/receiver. Small good, aesthetically pleasing speakers are super super cheap these days. There’s neat vintage options too. Absolutely nobody needs to buy a sound bar even the best ones are still junky junk

Chinatown posted:I long for the days of the onion dispenser. As opposed to a crank that’s been unscrewed from its shaft. You turn it futilely and maybe a drab of onion juice falls out from the vibrations. keevo posted:Idk how reliable this is, but there's a guy on the Costco sub-Reddit saying that the food court menu is gonna be changed up. They're getting rid of combo pizzas (pepperoni and cheese will still be there), churros, salad, yogurt, and acai bowls. I'm super bummed about the combo pizza if this is true. No! Not my Caesar salad! Not my combo pizza! Man losing the salad really sucks. I used to have one there and take extra for dinner/work lunch. Also toss in seasoned shrimp from the deli. I guess it’ll push me to be more environmentally conscious about waste. Those plastic trays were hella convenient but wasteful. Also I’m ambivalent about the froyo—>ice cream change. Chocolate syrup and sundae berries (? Hopefully that just means regular berries like açaí-bowl style) sound good but the froyo was nice and gentle on my stomach in a way that I anticipate ice cream might not be. Still gonna eat it tho. I assume Costco sells their Caesar dressing somewhere?

Cyrano4747 posted:Trichinosis has been almost completely eliminated from the US hog population. Iirc between 2000 and 2010 there were something like ten cases. Look up the real statistics but the tldr was low single digits per year. The FDA went so far as to revise down the recommended cook temp for pork to an internal temp of 145. To be entirely fair, however, I would not trust the US meat pipeline to be nearly as well-managed at the current moment, nor under the current presidential administration. A lot of changes to poo poo like inspection protocols, standards, and staffing have gone down over the last three years to “cut unnecessary red tape”  before you even bring up how Covid’s been running rampant through the meat processing industry. Like, if I were ever to bet on a time to see a major resurgence of livestock diseases and a possible contamination of the food supply, Covid-19 in year four of the Trump admin has pretty solid odds.

The Slack Lagoon posted:The best peanut butter is Teddie old fashioned and our local Costco sells it in a two huge pack for less than the cost of one small jar at a local store. Probably doesn't have nationwide distribution since it's a local company. Do you shop in MA? There’s a Costco literally right by the Teddie factory, as in- you have to go through the same rotary to go to either of them (I’m not a huge Teddie fan myself, sorry  )

Ravendas posted:My kids prefer the Kirkland peanut butter you have to stir up each time to Jif, which is great because my wife prefers it too. I do molecular biology, the “health benefit” of organic milk vs regular Kirkland (or in my case, Lactaid) is horseshit. There might be a benefit to the cows, depends on the farm, but your kids would probably do just as well with the same volume intake of 60% less expensive milk and the money saved spent on extra books or video games or music lessons or sports equipment or art supplies or POGs or whatever. Buy them some LEGO, all smart kids need more LEGO.

Joburg posted:Buy milk from pastured cows! Feedlots are horrible! Absolutely, yes. Do this. But please do not confuse “organic” with “high welfare standards” or either with “unspoken health benefits beyond measurable improvements in quality or richness, that may or may not exist” (ie, high quality of life for an animal being reflected in the final quality of an animal product is definitely a thing, but there’s a woo-woo “organic means it’s way better” consumer culture that does nothing to address real animal welfare, environmental, or public health/nutrition issues) Same with GMOs

Also just feed kids a lot of fish. My mom used to make me take fish oil pills before elementary school (I guess she thought it would be more physically tolerable in the morning and give me a brain boost) and they would give me the worst fishy burps and indigestion riding the bus. loving loathed those cod oil pills, and they depleted the fisheries too! So I guess give your kids the fancy fish milk, if the alternative is cod liver oil pills. Or just get your kids good fish and seafood and eat it often. 3 is a great age to get a kid into sushi if they’re ok with food allergies otherwise.

BaseballPCHiker posted:I prefer the natural stuff but go with the fake stuff when I am hiking or camping. Seems to spread way easier on tortillas. The peanut butter family is a big tent and has room for everyone except for those Smucker Goobers scum. yeah, it’s not like the fake stuff is that far off from real, nutritionally or tastewise. Nutritionally they’re functionally the same unless you have some kind of unique allergy. now if you’ve ever had “low fat” or “low cholesterol” or “light” peanut butter forced on you—that stuff is just all kinds of wrong.
